About Poe:
Edgar Allan Poe was an American poet, short story writer,
playwright, editor, critic, essayist and one of the leaders of the
American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of the
macabre and mystery, Poe was one of the early American prac-
titioners of the short story and a progenitor of detective fiction
and crime fiction. He is also credited with contributing to the
emergent science fiction genre.Poe died at the age of 40. The
cause of his death is undetermined and has been attributed to
alcohol, drugs, cholera, rabies, suicide (although likely to be
mistaken with his suicide attempt in the previous year), tuber-
culosis, heart disease, brain congestion and other agents.
